Effect of amniotic membrane on the proliferation of YAC-1 / 眼科新进展

Objective　To investigate the effect of amniotic membrane on the proliferation of YAC-1 in vitro. Methods　The YAC-1 cells were cultured with amniotic membrane and their proliferation were observed by MTT automated colorimetry on the lst day， the 3rd day and the 7th day respectively.Results　Amniotic membrane could significantly enhance the proliferation of YAC-1 on the lst day, the 3rd day and the 7th day respectively after having been seeded (P＜0.01).Conclusion　Amniotic membrane can enhance the proliferation of tumor cells (YAC-1), which should be paid attention to during amniotic membrane transplantation for treating ocular surface lesion caused by epibulbar tumors. ［Rec Adv Ophthalmol 2000;20(5)∶317-318］
